Liverpool are also keen on the winger along with French giants Paris St-Germain.

But United are prepared to hand the 21-year-old a four-year contract and quadruple his wages to £135,000-a-week.

Starsport understands United officials have met with their counterparts from PSV Eindhoven.

Although PSG can match the wages on offer at United, Depay is believed to have set his heart on joining United as he wants to work under former Dutch boss Louis van Gaal.

Holland legend Ronald de Boer also reckons United will win the race for his signature.

“He is one of the biggest talents in Europe - he has everything”

Former Ajax and Holland midfielder De Boer said: "I don't want to say which club is more suitable for him, but if he goes to United he knows there is a Dutch coach there in Van Gaal who knows him from the World Cup.

"That is an advantage. He is one of the biggest talents in Europe - he has everything".

* Monaco vice-president Vadim Vasilyev claims United bosses have yet to decide whether they will sign Radamel Falcao on a permanent deal in the summer.

The Colombia striker has struggled to make an impression during his mega-money loan move.

"I saw Manchester United leaders last Sunday and they have not yet decided if they will exercise the option," said Vasilyev.

"It's not his best season but they retain the opportunity to talk at the end of the season. We are not in any further negotiations for the moment, even if big clubs are interested.

"The decision is in Manchester, then we will talk the player to find out what he wants."
